John Sherman Talks Again.

Senator Sherman has had himself in.
terviewed again, He was interviewed
less than two weeks ago by tho Cincin-
natl Enquirer, which wanted him to ex-
plain the difference between his Nash
vile conciliation speech and his Spring
field bloody shirt speech, and now he
has been interviewed by the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette in order to explain
the explanation. He still refuses to see
any inconsistency between the two
speeches, although he admits that the
Springfield speech was impolitic Every
word III it, he says, is literally true OK
cept, perhaps, the statement that "thorc
is not an intelligent man in this broad
land of either party who does not know
that Mr. Cleveland is now President of
the United States by virtue of crimes
against the elective franchise" He ad-
mits that this may be too broad, but
upon careful analysis he does not sec
how he coutd modify it if fair forcc is
given to the word ''intelhgent." He
concludes the interview by saying: 81
cannot sec any reason why the Confed-
crate cause, which was Externally wrong,
but bravely and honestly fought out,
should be loaded down with the infamy
of crimes which required no courage,
committed long since the war, by poll
ticians '.!one, for political power and for
tho benefit of the Democratic party. |
can find some excuse for these atrocities
in the strong prejudice of caste and race
in the South, growing out of centuries
of slavery, but / can find no excuse for
any man of any party in the North who
is willing to submit to have his political
power controlled and overthrown by
such MEANS" The conversation as re.
ported gives the impression that Mr..
Sherman wrote the questions as well ae
the answers.

THOSE BATTLE-FLAGS.
Some Facts About the Captured Banners
The History of tho Confederate Flag.

Some Facts About the Captured Banners
The History of tho Confederate Flag.
Washington Letter to the New York Timcs)
When the captured Union flags were
found at Richmond, there were also with
the rebel archives sent up to Washing
ton collection of designs for Confcd-
crate flag. With the devices were letters
explaining their meaning. But in all,
over 200, there were not above half n
dozen devices without tho stars. The
arrangement of the stars made infinite
variety, but through all, tho mullct or
five pointed star was retained, showing
that, dcsirous as tho Confedoratcs were
to get flag unlike tho yankee" ON
blom, the old feeling could not shake off
attachment to the stars. And in almost
every letter with device for the flag,
reference is made to retaining the stars,
though sometimes ignoring the stripes.
One Confederate wrote: "Let tho Yam
KEGS keep their ridiculous tune of yam
kee Doodle, but by all that is sacred do
not let them monopolze the stars and
the stripes. You have fought we'll un-
der our glorious banner; could you fight
as well under another? Never! Change
it, improve it, alter it as you will, but
stripes!'
Another said: "Do not give up the
stars and stripes to the North. 1t is
ours as fully as it is theirs. j Keep
tho stripes, keep the azure field, and q
star for each sovereignty in tho constcl-
lation, and then distinguish 1t by II red
cross (the Southern cross cutting the
stripes at right angles. i The songs
of nation and its flag have q prodigious
moral influence.
One Confederate alone wrote against
the stars and in favor of the stripes. He
said: 'I don't like the cross. 1t is sig
nificant Of Catholic rule and had too
much to do with the machinery Of the
dark ages The old stars must, | think,
be abandoned. They belong to the
night, and besides the North will keep
them. 1t is nothing with u.s. Let there
be seven stripes, one for each of the
original States, as the thirteen were for
the original States Of the old Confcdera-
| cy. Let them be vertical instead of
horizontal.
One writing wholly in favor of tho
stars, sent his advice and said: eve still
have n 'star-spangled banner which is
dear to the people from old associations,
and we can afford to let the Yankees
keep tho stripes. We arc entitled to Il
'star-spanglod banner, because tho bost
poetry in honor of it was composed by
q Southern man, and the incident which
occasjoned its composition occurred on
Southern soil and reflected honor on
| Southern soldiers"
Tho committee of the provisional gov
ernment in their report on flag and
seal for adoption, confessed they were
not 80 much attached to the old flag, and
declared it would be inappropriate to
"retain the flag of the government from
which we have withdrawn" The design
recommended by the committee and
adopted by the provisional government

The Cotton Movement,

From the New York Financial Chron-
icle's cotton article the following figures
arc gathered relative to the movement of
the staple during the past week:
The total receipts reached 1854 bales,
against 3,549 bales last week, 1902 bales
the previous week, and 1850 bales three
weeks since; making the total receipts
since the LIST September, 1886, 5,187, 1872
bales, against &, ,247, 1913 bales for the same
period of 1856, showing decrease since
September l, 1886, of COOL bales.
The exports for the week reach total
of 1902 bales, of which 1886 were to
Great Britain, 800 to France, and 5, 1877
to the rest of the continent.
Tho imports into continental ports
during the weok were $4,000 bales.
These figures indicate decrease in the
cotton in sight of Is, 785 bales as com
pared with the same date of 1886, and
decrease of 59,037 bales as compared
with the corresponding date of 1885.
The receipts from the plantations,
being the actual movement, not includ,
ing the overland receipts nor Southern
consumption, of cotton that reached the
market through the outports for the
week were only 1923 bales. The totaI
receipts since the 1st of September are
5, 1874, ,374 bales.

dignified with the name. Mounting ,
mule he joined the two and undertook
the duty demanded of him. It was harG
work for me to drag information from
tho stOlld fellow; but / learned that
while one OF the night riders talked non,
sense all the time the other said little,
and that little was given to cursing his
broken leg and somebody for not put
ting out the lights.
The Light business took hold of nv
mind with q fascinating tenacity that l
could not shake off. AS / worked it out
II seemed to me key to tho mystery
that enveloped all the work of the assas-
sin on that terrible night, but I could
not manage the testimony. What light
was that which should have been eXtin-
gulshed and was not? The actor may
have been haunted with Othellos solilo-
guy, where he says before Desdemona's
death, '''put out the light and then put
out the light" But it gave no satisfac-
tory solution to the surmises.
Years after, while telling the late
Richard Merrick of this mystery, the
eyes of that eloquent and able advocate
frightened. When [ ended he said,
"9our negro gave you the key" The
true story of that awful crime came to
me in my capacity as lawyer. Booth,
the assassin, who put an end to the life
not only of an able, kind-hearted man,
but of all the hopes which the South had
OF an honorable and peaceful settlement
III the way of reconstruction, had AZ
ranged with an accomplice to turn of
the gas from the theatre when he (the
accomplice) heard the report of the
pistol. This would have plunged the
theatre into midnight darkness, and in
the terrible fright and confusion the
assassin would have escaped detection.
The fellow rolled on, smitten with con-
triton at the enormity of tho crime or
by fear, failed his chief and fled. In
stead of quietly gaining his horse, and
as quietly riding away undetected and
unsuspected, he had to face the audience
in the full glare of the footlights and
ride desperately, well knowing that the
foot Of Justice was on his path.
The lights were not extinguished.
The desperate murderer, in his hasty
flight from the box, caught his spur in
the flag of our Union that drapcd the
box, fell, broke his ankle and rode down
to death. The plot was clearly planned
and one can imagine the tumultuous
flight of that crowd, in the darkness that
was to have followed the crime. And
one can realize the desperation and
agony of Booth as he rode off into the
midnight, well knowing that he was re-
cognized, and that there was no spot on
earth in which he could find hiding and
safety, even had not his broken leg de-
prived him of every advantage. The
fatal mark of Cain had been imprinted
on him in the full glare of his familiar
tootlights, and that retribution which
dogs the steps of crime was but oues-
ton of time.
The murder occurred on the night OF
Good Friday, and had our good and
greatest of Presidents paused to remem-
Der for moment the belief of great
majority of Christian humanity, he
would not have been exposed to the
cruelty of the assassin. But "God reigns
and the government still lives"

was known as the ''Stars and Bars. The
Union blue in the corner had circle of
seven white stars, to represent the seven
original seeding States. The rost of
the flag showed three bars, red, white
and blue. In 1862 the Confederate gov
ernment as one evidence of absolute
severance from the United States, do
cided on new flag. This was the
Southern cross, finally adopt II by the
Confederate Congress in 1856, and IA
vored by General Beaurcgard. 1t was
first, however, General Joseph T.. john
ston's battle-flag, he having selected the
blue spanglcd sAltier upon red field as
his battle ensign. 1t did not please the
Richmond Examiner, in which it was
described as cred field bestraddled with
q long-lcgged white cross" Probably
the confusion of tho Rebel and Union
colOrs at the first battle of Manassas led
to giving up the 'stars and bars by the
former.
On looking over the flags in the war
building L find most of tho Confederate
flags of the Southern Cross device-red
field and blue cross having thirteen
stars. Now and then one shows but
eleven stars, or eight. Ono has fifteen
stars. A printed catalogue of these flags
when they were on exhibition in the
ordnance museum gives the number
placed there at $40. The history Of $40
i'll this catalogue is brief and ends the
list. "No. 5l0-Rebcl baltic flag,
brought from Richmond by Master Tad
Lincoln" President Lincoln's youngest
son was lad of twelve years whom he
won't with his father on the memorable
visit to City Point, whore General Grant
had his headquarters.
The ordinance museum remains in
Windsor's building. Will tho flags be
returned there, and placed where the
public may see them again? / am told
that some time ago the secretary of war,
then General Belknap, wished to have
the Confederate flags sent to West
Point and put in the museum there.
Strong objection was made on the ground
that this would tend to keep alive I'M
pleasant feelings between the cadets
from the two sections, in cXultation on
the one side and regret on tue other.
Adjutant General Townsend contendcd
that the proper place for the flags was
here in the war department building.

declared, when that suggestion once
came up, be direct recognition of the
rights of the rebcllious organizations.
